Question

What is the volume of the pyramid in mº? The pyramid has a square base and a height of 5 m. 12 m O A. 240 m 3 O B. 144 m 3 B O c120 O D. 60 m O E. 20 m

Answer 1

To be able to determine the volume of the Pyramid, we will be using the following formula:

$\text{Volume = }\frac{1}{3}BH$

Where,

B = Base area

H = Height

We get,

$\text{Volume = }\frac{1}{3}BH$$\text{ = }\frac{1}{3}(12\text{ x 12)(5)}$$\text{ = }\frac{1}{3}(144)(5)$$\text{ = }\frac{1}{3}(720)$$\text{ Volume = 240 m}^3$

Therefore, the volume of the Pyramid is 240 m^3
